About Robin

Robin Gross is a licensed clinical social worker based in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and a wide range of other emotional and life difficulties.

Background and approach

With 35 years of experience, she draws on long practice working with development, parenting, and complex life transitions to help clients regain balance and move forward. Her style blends compassion with practical tools, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs and strengths.

Robin integrates Internal Family Systems alongside acceptance-based and cognitive-behavioral strategies, and she also uses client-centered and dialectical methods when appropriate. This flexible, collaborative approach emphasizes building coping skills, clarifying values, and restoring confidence.

Robin offers care for many specific concerns including ADHD, bipolar challenges, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness and caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, and communication or control difficulties. She provides faith-informed counseling when requested while respecting differing beliefs, and she works with clients through a variety of online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Integrating approaches for online healing and growth



Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to explore internal parts and their relationships, helping people understand conflicting inner voices and reduce self-criticism; it can be helpful for trauma, relationship patterns, and self-esteem issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility through acceptance and mindful action, which supports coping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration to create a safe space for reflection and growth, aiding in building self-confidence and emotional insight.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans can blend elements from these approaches to match the presenting concerns and the client’s comfort with different techniques.

Online therapy with this clinician is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, geographic constraints, or mobility limits. These options make it possible to continue care during life transitions and to access regular, ongoing support without added travel time.
